I checked out The chocolate thief from library and looking forward to enjoy as much as you did.

Ever since I enjoyed (but didn't love) The Chocolate Thief, I've been wondering if I should give the series a try again. I think I will, though, after reading so many glowing reviews from you. I'll keep my fingers crossed this is one of those series that will grow on me as time goes on.

I wanted to know more about them. And then I got to read all the reviews of them and decided they were something I'd want to read. And that your blog was something I didn't want to miss. And it seems like this last book in the series (?) is not to be missed either, though different in tone from the others.

I know I read this there, but I will say again that I'm so excited that I finally started this series. I love that she's giving Mack a romance, which is definitely untraditional, and I can't wait to see beloved characters again. Do I need to read all the books in the Chocolate series? I know some are less favorites. Both you and Rachel have said The Chocolate Touch is your second favorite, can I skip to that, or is that not a good idea?

Her characters never have it easy but there's something to be said for a hard-won love.

I love a story that's a hard-fought battle between the characters and their lives as well as the characters and one another, I just need there to be that happy ending waiting for me at the end.

I'm not a big fan of cut and dried happily-ever-afters, so to hear that they're hard-fought and hard-won makes me really excited to read this someday. It sounds so very tangible and real.
